An Evening with The Firesign Theatre - 2017

Last September Phil Proctor and David Ossman presented "An Evening with the Firesign Theatre (Or What's Left Of It!)" at the Library of Congress in Washington. They performed their sketch entitled "The History of the Art of Radio, Revised," and discussed the history and impact of the Firesign Theatre with video clips, slides, and reminiscences. View or download the video if you like. Link in comments.

Strange, I suppose... I found myself more disturbed by the passing of two members of The Firesign Theatre than I did by the passing of the entirety of The Ramones (who were considerably younger than sed Firesigners). I guess we just expect Punks to Die Faster than Hippies, perhaps. Actually, though, I think that it was because the Firesign Guys had already made it to old age and had decided to "Come Back", as it were.

This is a real treasure, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!And the Top of it, too. And all of that ookie stuff in between as well.

Thank you for this.I was introduced to this fantastic troop by the older brother of my best friend in Middle School. They were so far out of my normal "comfort zone" they were my "teen rebellion." (sad, I know)
